Colorectal Cancer Screening: The Life Saver

Each year, March is designated as Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, placing a spotlight on the disease and on screening that saves lives.

Colorectal cancers can be referred to separately as colon cancer or rectal cancer, depending on where they start. When detected early, colorectal cancers can be cured.

We suggest a colonoscopy, the gold standard in colon screenings, starting at age 45 or earlier if there is a family history or other risk factors. A colonoscopy is an examination of the colon using a soft, flexible fiber-optic instrument through which biopsies and polyp removal can also be performed. These screenings can find cancer at early stages, when it’s easiest to treat. Colonoscopies can even prevent cancer by finding and removing precancerous polyps.
